Options for Choice in Public Service Delivery

17 November 2004 13:00-14:00 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • The issue of choice in public service delivery is topical in current UK political debates. User fees have been introduced in the health and education sectors in many developing countries, and in theory provide an opportunity for the public to reveal their preference. In reality, the imposition of fees may exclude the very poorest completely; in remote hard-to-reach areas there may be no alternative to the public service.
